So..............................therefore does the Dom have a responsibility to ensure she does her homework first? to talk and make sure it "fits" waht she thought she wanted?
Or do subs have to take responsibiltiy for themseleves?

It would be nice if Doms took responsibility for their submissive partner's understanding-- -- and many do.
It would be nice if subs took responsibility for their own learning-- and many of them do.

When neither partner does, you've got hell going on.

I'm starting to get the sense that these are not merely hypothetical questions you are posing. I am also beginning to be a bit worried about you. There isn't a separate "subby problem page". Best advice? Ask here... both the PYLs and pyls will respond and you'll benefit from both sides.

I don't think that a clueless first timer is going to be capable of the kind of systemic persuasion stuff we're talking about.

In my opinion we are all grown-ass adults responsible for our own happiness, end of story. Something shit goes wrong. It's an exception to the rule, which is more often things just don't quite mesh, no one dies.

And I think these ladies said it perfectly.

Yeah, I got that feeling a while ago too.

Um...yeah, did you read my first post? *giggles* It happens.

This is one of the major reasons I prefer a dynamic where my domly type wants my thoughts with out having to ask permission to speak freely, or with out me having to worry if I hurt his domly pride.

If something worries me, if I have a concern about something, I will voice those to Jounar (or who ever is playing with me). With Jounar, I always have the freedom to express anything I am thinking or feeling. Now we have agreed that he gets ultimate say over everything, but that's just what we've agreed to, and I'm always free to either ask for reconsideration, or to walk away if need be.

Me, I know I need a domly type who won't let me wiggly out of something. I want some one who's going to make me gag on his cock after I've bragged about being able to deep throat. I need some one who is going to make me go a full hour with the tack board when I've said that I want to be pushed to tears. And more importantly, I need some one who is going to stick it through when I try to talk my way out of something. I like having that control over me. Doesn't work for every one.

If you need to, you know you can always PM me.

Sorry it was never ment to be casting blame at anyone. I started the thread because of something I read in a novel and just thought it might provoke some discussion and then my enquiring mind made it veer off course lol

the time stamp on that post is 4:30 am my time (and... it's 4am this time as well...) I don't always post coherently that late, but I think what I was trying to say was that I try to take responsibility for where ever I let an adventure take me. My choices were mine to make, even if I got burned. That's not something I try to ascribe to others, more a personal rule of my own.

maybe I can explain it better some other time; when I've had more sleep.
(in a year or two).

Yes well . I have learned the same lesson.
I guess who have to suck it and see?
One Dom dosent fit all?
So if a sub has a bad experiance , through ignorance or whatever , she can walk away and pick up her own personal pieces.
And sometimes with a bit of help along the way
